The Golden ratio


In mathematics, two quantities are in the golden ratio if
their ratio is the same as the ratio of their sum to the
larger of the two quantities.
Mathematicians since Euclid have studied the properties
of the golden ratio, including its appearance in the
dimensions of a regular pentagon and in a golden
rectangle, which may be cut into a square and a smaller
rectangle with the same aspect ratio. The golden ratio has
also been used to analyze the proportions of natural
objects as well as man-made systems such as financial
markets, in some cases based on dubious fits to data. The
golden ratio appears in some patterns in nature, including
the spiral arrangement of leaves and other parts of
vegetation.
Some 20th-century artists and architects, including Le
Corbusier and Salvador Dalí, have proportioned their
works to approximate the golden ratio, believing this to
be aesthetically pleasing
